Happy Birthday Emily

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my sweet wife.

Sleepless in Seattle & Happy Halloween

Last week I traveled to Seattle for a CareerMD Physician Job Fair at the University of Washington. I tried to convince Brandon to join me on the quick trip, but I ended up traveling alone. I love Seattle! I happened to arrive on an absolutely beautiful fall day. I checked into my hotel and worked on a few important projects. Then, I decided that there was no sense in staying locked in my hotel room all day. I jumped in my rental car and drove down to Pike's Place Market. It was such a fun way to spend the afternoon. I then headed to the University of Washington. The campus is really stunning. What was I thinking going to Weber State intead of the University of Washington?! It turned out to be a really great trip. I'm still trying to convince Brandon that we need to make a trip back to Seattle in the Spring. Here are a few pictures, taken with my Blackberry, from my adventure at Pike's Place Market.

I returned home on Tuesday night, and we enjoyed the fresh shrimp I'd brought home from Seattle with Bryce, Shannon, and Mariah. On Thursday, I buzzed up to Idaho Falls to meet with the Administration at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. It was a whirlwind week that ended with a very fun Halloween. On Halloween, we had our neighbors, The Austins, over for dinner before heading over to The Hess' to enjoy a movie and treats with friends. Of course, no Halloween would be complete without dressing up our dog...we are freaking pathetic! For your enjoyment, here is a picture of Chopper decked out in his Pimp costume!
